(RISI NG MAl NS)
o. FORE WORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (Part IV) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 16 October 1968, after the draft finalized by the Water
Supply and Sanitation Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 Ina sewerage system ancillary structures like manholes, inverted
syphons (where provided) are necessary appurtenances for proper function-
ing. This part of the standard on ancillary structures in sewerage system
gives guidance for design and construction of pumping stations and pump-
ing mains. The other parts of the standard are the following:
IS :4ll1 (Part I )-1967 Code of practice for ancillary structures
in sewerage system: Part I Manholes
IS: 4111 (Part II )-1967 Code of practice for ancillary str:J.ctures in
sewerage system: Part II Flushing tanks
IS: 4111 (Part III )-1967 Code of practice for ancillary structures in
sewerage system: Part III Inverted syphons
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is 'Complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accorda.nce with
IS: 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded
off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard (Part IV) lays down requirements for location, design,
construction, equipment and safety precautions for installation of pumping
stations and pumping mains used in sewerage system.
·Rules for rounding off numerical valueS ( rlvis,d).

IS: 4111 (Part IV) -1968
2. LOCATION OF PUMPING STATIONS

2.1 General -,- The area in which the pumping station is s;tuatcd is fixed
generally by the duty it has to perform, but the precise site may vary so as
to take into account the following considerations:
a) As pumping stations are frequently in low-Iving areas, consider-
ation should be given to the possibility of flooding and information
should be obtained as to the highest record(,d flood levels in the
area.
b) The pumping station .site should be above till' biglwst recorded
flood level, but when construction on ground liable to Aood is
unavoidahle, it !'hould be so designed that motors are well above
the highest recorded flood level and above the wpin,g of the wet
wdl or sllction chambei·.
c) The site should be selected if possible so that in the event of power
failure any overHow which occurs may he divert!'d or will find its
way into watercourse without causing flooding or serious damage
to property; however, this should not pollute any \\latercourse
used for drinking water purposes.
2.2 Nature of Ground

2.2.1 Investigations of the nature of the ground should be made before
a site is selected, and if the station involves deep excavation trial holes
should be dug or boreholes drilled for this purpose. The level of the
ground water should be recorded, as a high standing water-level may
require special constructional methods.
2.2.2 Where the area is subject to underground working, such as coal
or salt mining the site of the pumping station should be selected so as to
be free as far as possible from the danger of sllbsidence.
2.3 Nuisance - A pumping station should be located as distant as possible
from the residential properties on account of possibility of complaints for
noise or smell.
3. CAPACITY OF PUMPING STATIONS
3.1 Rates of Flow - The variations in the rates of Aow depend largely
upon whether the station is for sanitary sewage or storm water or both.
Pumping station should be capable of dealing with the daily and seasonal
variations of the inflow.
3.2 If a pumping station is to be added to an existing system, records of
the flow over as long a period as available should be obtained and the
conditions to be anticipated in the future estimated thi!refrom.
4
IS:4111 (Part IV)-19fi8
3.3 Pumping Capacity - The number and capacity of the pumping units
should be chosenyo that fluctuations in the pumping rates are not consider-
able and also so that under normal conditions frequent cutting in and
ci.tttin~ ?ut (s avoided. The number of different sized units should be
selecti'lcf after studying the overall economy and should be kept as low
as pss~b~e to facilitate repairs and to reduce the number of necessary spares
):6 a mmImum.
3.4 Stand-by pumps should be imtalled of sufficient capacity that with
anyone pump out of service, the remainder may deal with the, peak flow.
3.5 In the case of electrically driven pumps, consideration should be given
to the possibility of failure of the power supply. Duplication of power
lines and s\..,itch gears may be desirable in the case of large installations.
If serious flooding would result from electrical power failure, stand-by
plant using some other. source of power should be provided.
4. PUMPS
4.1 Requirement of Sewage Pump - A sewage pump should be reliable
and unchokable and accessible for quick maintenance, robust and wear
resisting and some measure of overall efficiency may have to be sacrificed
to sec!lre these properties.
4.1.1 The type of pump to be installed at each pumping station should
be judged on its merits in relation to the rate of pumping the total head,
the physical composition of the sewage, septicity and preliminary treat-
ment before pumping.
4.1.2 The types Qfpump available for handling of sewage may be divided
broadly into three groups:
a) Roto dynamic,
b) Reciprocating, and
c) Pneumatic.
4.2 Roto-Dynamic Pump. - Roto-dynamic pumps ate more suitable and
adoptable for sewage pumping purposes. They should conform to the
requirements specified in the 'Indian Standard specification for rot~
dynamic special purpose pumps ,. ( under preparation) and' Indian Standard
specification f-or sewage and drainage pumps' (under preparation).
NOTE -- Until the Indian Standards referred to in 4.2 are published, the requirements
shall be subject to agreement between the concerned parties.
4.2.1 The priming of all types of roto-dynamic pumps reqJire specIal

consideration especially when the sewage to be handled may be septic
and, therefore, liable to generate gas. It is recommended to locate the
pump so that there is a positive head of sewage above the impeller of the
pump on the suction side when starting up, particularly on automatically
operated pumping stations for intermittent duty.
IS:4111 (Part IV)-l968
4.3 Reciprocating Pumps
4.3.1 Reciprocating pumps are not recommended for the pumping of
sewage except in special circumstances, such as unusually high head. This
type of pump when specially designed to run at .slow llpeed may be used
for the pumping of sludge.
4.3.2 The reciprocating pump is heavy, of large dimension in relation to
capacity, reliable, highly efficient when first installed, capable of operating
with a suction lift and of discharging with very high heads but is
susceptible to chocking, heavy wear-and-tear and loss of efficiency through
. wear and valve jamming. The reciprocating pump may be either of the
single-acting or double-acting type, but preliminary treatment to remove
abrasive and other solids is advisable in the case of double acting pumps.
Reciprocating pump~ require essentially slow speed drive and gearing may
be required between the pump and the prime mover. Thay afford very
little flexibility in discharge capacity but will maintain a steady rated dis-
charge over a wide variation in head duty.
4.3.3 Sewage should be screened with fine screen in order to prevent
chocking of the valve mechanism by solids contained in the sewage.
4.4 Pneumatic Ejectors - The pneumatic ejector is a simple method of
pumping sewage where reliability and ease of maintenance are of greater
importance than overall efficiency. They are particularly applicable
where a small quantity of sewage has to be pumped against relatively small
heads, more especially in isolated installations, but are not recommended
for larger installations.
4.4~1 The installation usually comprises an automatic self-starting air-
compressor, air storage and the ejectors. At least two ejectors should be
provided to £lcilitate repairs, and . where breakdown would have serious
result a secoLd air compressor should be provided. In residential areas
the exhaust from the ejectors should be efficiently silenced. It is possible
to serve several ejector stations from one central air compressing station if
the distances are not too great.
5. PRIME MOVERS
5.1 Choice of Prime Mover - The prime mover selected to drive a
sewage pump should be r~liable. robust. efficient. and silent in operation
and the choiCe of plant to be provided at each installation should be
judged on its merits in relation ItO the availability of a power or fuel supply
and should be suitable for the type Qf pumping unit which has been
selected as most suitable for the duty to be performed. It will be necessary
to· balance capital cost, running cost, and maintenance costs for each type
of plant before reaching a decision, and consideration should also be given
to the effect of possible interruption in the supply of power or fuel from
causes outside the sewage authority'S control.
6
1$ :4111 (Part IV) ·1968
5.2 The types of prime mover commonly available for driving sewage
pumps are:
a) electric motor; and
b) internal combustion engine (diesel oil, petrol or gas).
5.2.1 Electric !vlotor - The electric motor is a convenient, cheap and
reliable prime-mover for all types of sewage pumping and many varieties
of electric motor are available to suit particular conditions of duty "to be
performed by a sewage pump (see IS: 325-1961 * and IS:4722-l968t).
5.2.1.1 An electric motor is particularly suitable for adoption at an
automatically operated, unattended station, automatic controls having
been developed to a high degree of perfection and reliability.
5.2.1.2 The adoption of electricity as the source of pO'oVer, though
reliable in itself, depends on the availability of the electricity supply. Where
there is danger of interruption of the supply and the consequent risk of
flooding with sewage which is unavoidable if pumping ceases, consideration
should be given to backing up the public electricity supply with a stand-by
independe~t generating plant; alternatively a ring main supply ensuring
availability of power from two sources may meet the case.
5.2.1.3 Motors used for pumping of sewage shall be of drip-proof type.
5.2.2 Internal Combustion Engine ( Diesel Oil, Gas or Petrol) - The following
are th~ details:
a) Diesel Oil ~ The diesel engine is a reliable, efficient type of prime
mover for sewage pumping, but is heavy, expensive in capital cost
and requires heavy foundations, ample housing structure, and the
continuous attendance of a properly skUled technician for operation
and maintenance. It may be used to drive sewage pumps of all
types.
b) Gas - The gas engine is comparable in all respects with the diesel
engine except that, when operated on a gas supply, the running
costs are apt to be high and its operation becomes dependent on
the availability of gas from an outside source.
Sewage gas, a bye-product of sewage purification work, may
be used as a fuel for a gas engine. Gas engine should be capable
of operating on oil as an alternative fuel.
c) Petrol-- The petrol engine is rarely adopted as a form of prime-
mover at a permanent sewage pumping station owing to the
comparatively high fuel and maintenance cost.

6. PUMP CONTROLS
6.1 Electrically Driven Pumpa
6.1.1 Automatic - Automatic control may be provided for either ac or
de motor but overriding and supplimentary manual control should be
included in the panel for emergency use. A float controlled switch or
other suitable means, operated by the sewage level in the wet well, is used
to actuate the main power control panel.
In all cases the motor should have no-volt and overload protection,
and the control gear made proof against adjustment or tampering while the
current is on, by a mechanical and electrical interlock.
6.1.2 Manual- Manual control of electrically driven pumps should be
provided separately, incorporated in an automatic control panel or may be .
the sole means of operation.
Emergency control, that is, stop buttons together ",ith no-volt and
overload release as well as controls against phase failure should be fitted in
all cases.
6.2 Gas or Oil Engine Driven Pumps -"Automatic control may be used
for electrical ignition .and compression ignition engines~ but manual control
is recommended for internal combustion engine prime mover.
7. PUMPING STATION
7.1 Site Illvestigatioll- This should be carried out in aq:ordance with
IS; 1892-1962·
7.2 Sub-Structure - This usually consists of two underground compart~
ments separated by a common wall, namely, a dry well to house the pumping
plant, pipe work and control valves and a wet well containing the,sewage
to be pumped.
1.2.1 Wet Well
1.2.1.1 Capacity of wet well- Most design principles base detention
upon the average design rate flow, but the maximum and minimum rates
are the determining factors in sizing the.wet well. The desired results may
be accomplished if the size of the wet well is such that, with any combina-
tion of inflow and pumping, tlle cycle of operation for each pump will not
be less than 5 minutes and a maximum retention time in the wet well not
exceeding 30 minutes.
7.2.1.2 Shape- The wet well shall be so shaped as to have the suction
of several pumps suitably placed apart and. drawing from a channel. The
shape of the wet w~ll should also conform to the shape of the pump house

/Ttl'nt of solids a~d avoid~ fo'rmatlon ofscum and d~~d-p~cket~.
7.2.1.3 Floor slope - The bottom slope should be such as to permit the
sludge to gravitate to pump suction and in no case it should be flatter
than 1.1.
7.2.1.4 COTlstruction - The structure as a whole should be designed to
resist floatation due to external water pressnre. Normal materials of con-
struction, that is stone, brick, concrete or reinforced concrete may be used
as available after giving due consideration to the type of sewage to be
purnped. \Vhen the Se\vagc is corrosive a facing of special brick or cement
concrete prepared out of acid resistant cement should be provided.
t.
7.2.2 Dry Well- Where. the dry well is to be constructed in reinforced
cement concrete, it should be designed in accordance '.vith IS: 3370 (Part
II )-1965* or any other practice as may be approved by the authority.
\Vhere other materials are used, walls and floors subject to external water
pressure should be rendered waterproof.
7.2.2.1 Pump foundations-A separate foundation block should be
provided for each pump. When built in concrete, this should be constructed
as an integral part of the floor of the dry well, the holes for holding down
bolts being boxed to the required depth when pouring the concrete. Any
desired decorative facing may be applied after the pump stool or bed plate
has been correctly set and grouted in.
7.2.2.2 Lighting and ventilation - Adequate lighting and ventilation
should be arranged inside the dry well. Mechanical ventilation may be
necessary to supplem:ent. natural ventilation for enclosed stations (see IS:
3103-1965t)·
7.2.2.3 Dry well floor should be sloped to a small sump with adequate
arrangement for dewatering.
7.3 Super-Structure
7.3.1 Engine or Mater Room-Although the term super-structure applies

normally. to a building erected above the existing ground level, it may be
applied to an underground station. Sufficient floor space at both motor
and pump level should be provided for dismantling and overhaul.
7.3.2 Travelling Gantries for Handling Pumps and Motors-An average
travelling crane should be included in the machinery to be installed parti-
cularly in large station and arrangements made for its installation before
that of the pumps. Chain controls for such a crane shall be of sufficient

length to permit operation' at both motor and pump flox level. A hatch
in the roof should be provided where necessary in case of vertical spindle
driven pumps. .
7.3.3 LightiTlg- The structure should be weU'lighted and distribution of
lighting points for the pumping station should be such that long flexes are
avoided.
7.3.4 Architectural Finish - The superstructure of the pumping station
should have a pleasing and attractive architectural treatment and a good
landscaping for the surround is recommended.
7.3.5 Precautions Againrt Nuisance- Nuisance may be caused by a s(;wage
pumping station by smell, noise, electrical interference, or vibration.
7.3.5.1 To control the sme!) it is desirable that the sewage be retained
in the wet well for the shortest possible tim::! and that screenings be
removed as soon as they have accu,mulated.
, 7.3.5.2 Noise may be reduced by employing special silent motors, ana.
double windows are of assistance in this respect.
7.3.5.3 Electrical interference m:ly produce complaints from nearby
radio set users and molY only be eliminated by careful attention to the main-
tenance of brush and commuutor gi!ar and cleanliness of control gear
generally.
7.3.5.4 Vibration from modern pumping set on' individual foundation
blocks should be negligible, but in exceptional cases insulation of the
foundation from the bUilding by suitable means should prevent transmission
where vibration might occur [see IS: 2974 (Part 1)-1964* ).
7.3.6 Protection of Plantfrom Flooding - Flooding of a pumping station may
occ~r because the pumps and accessories have been neglected or because
of external circumstances. Suitable overflow arrangements for the wet well
should be provided, where feasible, as a protection against flooding due to
breakdown bf plant or failure of the power supply.
7.4 Flow Recorders - It is desirable to measure the flow at an individual
pumping station and it may be arranged either on the connecting sewer,
at the inlet to the station, on the rising main, or at the delivery end. At
the inlet and discharge ends flumes or weirs may be used and onthe rising
main venturi meter or orifice plates may be used for the measurement of
flow. Recording and integrating devices may be installed on these measur-
ing devices, if required.
7.5 Lay-oat of Plant and Pipe Work - Equipment in a pumping station
s~ould be sited to permit the ease of operation and maintenance .

IS 14111 (Part IV ) -1968
7.5.1 Pumps
7.5.1.1 Dry-well pumps - This is the most suitable methods of installa-
tion, as the machines are always accessible and gland packing and other '
routine maintenance may be aChieved without considerable mess and
trouble.
7.5.1.2 Submerged wet well pumps- This type of installation is not suit-
able for permanent use for sewage pumping. A typical arrangement is
shown in Fig. 1.
7.5.1.3 Horizontal shaft pumps- The horizontal, directly coupled pump
set is free from some of the disadvantages of the vertical set and may be
preferable when the depth of the installation is, say 4'5 m or less. It
requires considerably more floor space than a vertical shaft pump. On the
other hand intermediate bearings on the shaft are not required and the set
is more easily -maintained; however, horizontal shaft pumps are not suitable
for wet wells. A typical illustration of horizontal shaft dry well type pump
is given in Fig. 2.
7.5.1.4 Vertical -shrift pumps - The vertical spindle pump has the
advantage that the motor may be placed above the flood level to save it
from being flooded due to break down of the pump or any other cause.
This pump may be driven by a vertical-spindle electrical motor or through
gearing from a horizontal prime-mover. The vertical shaft may be of any
length; if required sufficient intermittent bearing should be provided to
ensure steadiness. The space occupied by such a set is less than that
occupied by a horizontal set of similar capacity. A typical arrangement is
shown in Fig. 3.
7.5.1.5 Direct coupled vertical~ - Given suitable conditions, the type of
pump set in which the motor is directly mounted on a stool bolted directly
to the casing of a vertical pump requires less space and may conveniently
be controlled at nne level. A typical arrangement is shown in Fig. 4.
7.5.2 Internal Pipe Work
7.5.2.1 Pipe connections-All pipe joints within the pump house should
be flanged. Where a number of pumps discharge into a common delivery
it is very desirable that connections to the mains should be made in hori-
zontal direction, to avoid accumulation of silt and debris in vertical pipes
connected to the pumps.
7.5.2.2 VaLves- Valves both. sluice and reflex should be as accessible
as possible. Sluice valves on horizontal pipe lines should never be inclined
at more than 45 degrees to the vertical. Where valve hand wheels are
difficult to approach for operation, the spindle should be extended and
head-stocks fitted at a convenient level for operation. Such head-stocks
may be off set from the valve spindle centre line by inserting suitable
11
1514111 (Part IV)-I968
universal ,joints in the spindle extension. Non-return or reflux valves,
should be inserted as near the pump as possible and in a horizontal position.
7.5.2.3 T]se oj standard specials-Standard specials, where used, should
comply with IS: 1538-1969-

7.5.2 •• As a precaution against fracture and for ease of assembly,
suitable flexible joint may-be used where pipe passes through valve and a
puddle flange should be provided, built into the wall.

suction pipes within a sump should be five times the diameter, centre to
centre or 50 cm between flanges whichever is greater.

8. PUMPING MAINS ( RISING MAINS)

8.1 Velocity in Mains-In order to avoid sedimentation, the minimum
desirable velocity is 0·8 mJs. At the maximum. pumping rate velocity in
excess of 1·8 mls are undesirable. Within the above limits, economic
velocity usually falls between 0:8 mls and 1·2 mls at the normal pumping
rate.
8.2 DuplicatioD of Maio. - This may be desirable in the following
circumstances:
a) To provide a stand-by rising main in the event of tht: other mains
being temporarily out of action.
b) To accommodate storm water flow which could not be carried in a
single main within the limits of velocity givln in 8.1.
e) To permit parallel working of centrifugal pumps where this is
proposed but where the characteristic of the pumps do not lend
themselves to combined working through a single main.

Pune([email protected])
IS 1.111 (Part IV) -1968 123.201.73.129 [for non-commercial use only].
8.:JSaitablUty of Joints and Be..... - In order to obviate any displace-

ment of the pipeline due to the pressure of ftood, each bend should be
properly anchored in a block of concrete. Where the main is inadequately
covered or is exposed it should be suitably anchored to prevent displace-
ment of the joints under pressure.
8.4 Valves oil Pulnping Mains-Subject to special circumstances in
individual cases, valves should be located as follows:
a), Reflu'{ Valves - Immediately above the pump to reduce back surge
and water hammer, and should be placed on the horiz.ontal portion
of the main. External levers may be provided to facilitate
drainage of the pumping main and back washing..
b) Sluice Valves - As an isolating valve on the suction side of the pump ~
and also above reflux valve to enable this to be readily isolated in
the event of its requiring attention, for example, to clear a clogged
seating; also at points on main where required to isolate sectfoPs.
c) Air Valves -- Sufficient number of air valves should be provided at
summit points as required.
d) It'ash-out Valves and Hatch Box- These should be provided at low
points where a suitable means is available fi)r the disposal of the
drainage and their use should be confined to the emergency.
8.5 Materials and Construction
8.5.1 Grry Cast Iron (Vertical Cast or Spun) - They should be of a suitable
class to withstand the hydraulic pressure and external loads. The cast
iron pipe should conform to IS: 1536-1967* or IS: 1537-1960t and the
fittings should conform to IS: 1538-1969t.
8_5.2 Steel Pipes- Where steel pipes are used, increased wall thickness
and protective internal lining may be necessary to allow for possible corro-
sion and the pipe should be wrapped with a protective sheathing (see
IS: 1239-1964§).
